Wishing on a shooting star (yiffit.net)

What if wishing on a shooting star actually grants wishes and the only reason it's commonly believed to be superstition is because nobody has actually seen a shooting star we've only seen crashing rocks? 🤔

Have you considered the possibility that the wishes are always granted, but that it takes so long that people forget they even had that wish?
